all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together
in perfect unity." Colossians 3:12-14 NIV

ALUMNA WOWS CHAPEL AUDIENCEKathy Nimmer '91
brought an insight to Trinity Christian College on Friday,
February 2, that left a chapel audience virtually speechless.
She quoted from her new book, "Minutes in the Dark, Eternity
in the Light" and described in moving detail what it was like
to gradually lose sight. Nimmer opened her speech with a poem
that recalled the memory of a painful moment in her youth -
the day she failed an eye test at school. She was in the
second grade when her rare retinal degenerative disease was
diagnosed. For more, see our Web site at: tcc.trnty.edu/new/archive/020707a/
